Fine coincidences

I love it when my favorite things come together. Through no effort of mine, Parnassus's "house string quartet," the Colorado Quartet, has been involved in collaborations with our "house composer," Katherine Hoover. Hoover has just written a second string quartet for the Colorado String Quartet, which will be performing it in a number of venues. One of those is right in our neighborhood, Bard College, where the CSQ will play on Sunday afternoon, April 9, a program which also includes Beethoven's Op. 18, No. 4, and Schubert's Quartet in G, D. 887. I hope some Parnassus customers may be able to get to this concert, which is at Bard's Olin Hall at 3 PM. There isn't even any admission charge!
